Presenting the all-new 3-row Subaru Ascent.

The biggest Subaru SUV yet is here — the 2019 Ascent. The Ascent is family-sized with flexible seating for up to eight passengers, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity[4]. And, for the first time, the peace of mind of Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology[5] comes standard.

It also includes a host of in-vehicle technologies including SUBARU STARLINK™ Multimedia and STARLINK Safety and Security[6] services to keep you informed, entertained, and secure wherever the road may take you.

In addition to the signature Subaru reliability you get with every model, you also have the added peace of mind of our Subaru warranty. At no additional charge, our basic warranty covers for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. Powertrain warranty is 60 months or 60,000 miles.

There’s a perfect fit for your family

The Ascent features three rows of versatile seating so your family always feels at home on the road. Select second-row captain’s chairs for easy access to the third row and space for up to seven. Or, opt for second-row bench seating to make room for eight. You can gear up for any adventure thanks to ample cargo space.

An SUV for the long haul

Built to Last

97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today[9]. And the Ascent is well-built in the U.S.A. for long-lasting quality, so your Ascent will be part of your family for all the adventures ahead.

Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive + SUBARU BOXER® engine

Designed for optimal balance and an even distribution of power for maximum traction, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive makes for exceptional stability, impressive efficiency, and a quick response to driving conditions.

The all-new Direct Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine delivers 260 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. And with 19.3 gallons of fuel capacity and up to 27 mpg[2], it puts almost any destination within reach.

8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance and X-MODE®

Conquer rough terrain with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE, which optimizes the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. X-MODE also incorporates Hill Descent Control for stability and confidence when descending more difficult grades.

The 2019 Ascent offers the most towing capacity of any Subaru vehicle ever, along with an available Class III trailer hitch and wide selection of Thule racking accessories so you can bring along all the gear you’ll need for all the places you’ll be able to go.

High-Strength Steel Body Structure

The 2019 Ascent is built on the Subaru Global Platform using extensive high-strength steel. With great durability, rigidity and vibration resistance, the Ascent platform is designed to provide a quiet interior and excellent driving feel now and for years to come.

True Family Versatility

Spacious, Comfortable Interior

Step into the roomy mobile headquarters for your entire family. With 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume plus ample cargo space with underfloor storage, Ascent provides room for every passenger and all their gear. Extra-wide rear door openings let your passengers enter and exit with ease. All three rows in the cabin are clad in durable soft-touch materials for a premium look and feel, and with 19 cup and bottle holders, everyone’s beverage is secure and close at hand.

Wi-Fi Connectivity and USB Charging

With the available Wi-Fi connectivity built right into the Ascent, passengers can stream and share their favorite content online [10]. Up to eight USB ports, spread throughout the cabin for easy access, keep all those devices charged and connected [11].

SUBARU STARLINK™ Entertainment Anywhere

The STARLINK Entertainment Anywhere package is available to make every trip in your Ascent even more enjoyable. With iPad®, you and your passengers have endless opportunities to stay connected, engaged, and entertained. Passengers can also utilize the built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability to stream their favorite content or search the web.

This premium entertainment experience is a great value and can be enjoyed in the backseat of your Ascent or wherever else your travels take you.[19]

Power Rear Gate

The available power rear gate can be opened or closed with the push of a button on your key fob, or by controls on the dashboard or the gate itself — making it easier to access the cargo area even when both hands are occupied. The opening height can also be adjusted when clearance is limited.

Panoramic Moonroof

Bring in more fresh air from the available 54-inch power tilt/sliding panoramic moonroof — the largest Subaru has ever offered — to make the already impressive passenger space feel even more open and bright.

Raised Roof Rails

As one of the only vehicles in its class with standard raised roof rails and offering an extensive line of racking accessories — from kayak and bike carriers to rooftop containers and more — the flexible 2019 Ascent lets you load a wide variety of cargo for all your family’s expeditions.

Safe and Connected

Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology

Offered as a standard feature for the first time ever, EyeSight[5] monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you’re swaying outside your lane. The Pre-Collision Braking feature can even apply full braking force, bringing you to a complete stop in emergency situations. An extra set of eyes on the road, adding confidence to every trip. It’s another way Subaru designed the Ascent with your family’s safety in mind.

SUBARU STARLINK™ Multimedia

With standard Apple CarPlay™, Android™ Auto, and Pandora® integration[12] , plus SiriusXM® All Access Radio[14], STARLINK Multimedia connects you to music, navigation, podcasts, and much more. Wireless pairing and hands-free smartphone operation allow for safe and easy access to your favorite apps and content, including STARLINK apps such as iHeartRadio®, Yelp and Magellan. A built-in, voice-activated navigation system powered by TomTom® and an 8-inch touch-screen are also available.

Active Safety for Added Awareness

The 2019 Ascent uses a full suite of active safety features to keep you and your family safe. The Blind-Spot Detection[18] system warns you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if it senses a vehicle in your blind spots. Available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert[18] helps warn you of traffic approaching from the side as you are backing up.

360 Degrees of Visibility

The available Smart Rear-View Mirror uses a dedicated camera to maintain visibility when the view behind is obstructed, while a standard Rear-Vision Camera provides extra safety when reversing. And an available 180-Degree Front Camera gives the same confidence that your path ahead and to the sides is safe and clear.

SUBARU STARLINK™ Safety and Security

The 2019 Ascent is the first Subaru vehicle to offer the newly updated STARLINK Safety and Security[14] system. This advanced technology helps keep you and your Subaru safe whether you're in your vehicle, at your computer, or on your mobile device. Safety and Security services include Advanced Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, all-new Vehicle Alerts, and more —along with the added convenience of Remote Services.

All-new Remote Engine Start with Climate Control, accessible via your smartphone, ensures your Ascent is ready and comfortable. There's also the new STARLINK Concierge service for personal assistance with tasks like navigation, restaurant reservations, and scheduling service appointments

LED Steering Responsive Headlights and High Beam Assist

Get a clearer look around every bend with available LED Steering Responsive Headlights, which actively track in the direction of a turn to enhance visibility.
